Gonzales-based Gauthier & Amedee lost on Sunday night to Brooklawn, N.J., the lone unbeaten team remaining in the American Legion World Series, 7-2.

Leading the way for Gauthier & Amedee was second baseman Robert Podorsky, who went 3-for-5 with two doubles, and Collin Delaune, who also went 3-for-5 and added an RBI.

LSU commit Andrew Bain started for Gauthier & Amedee, throwing five innings and allowing three earned runs with eight strikeouts. Bain also went 2-for-4 with two doubles.

Gauthier & Amedee came out swinging in the first inning, taking the 1-0 lead, but soon after Brooklawn pitcher Tyler Mondile settled down, allowing one additional run the rest of the way.

"I was kind of nervous to start the game, I was excited at first but then I stepped on the mound. After the first inning I really got into a groove and felt good from there," Mondile told NJ.com.

The Brooklawn offense slowly got things started in the second inning and then took control of the game late in the eighth by scoring three runs. All but two of the Brooklawn starters had at least one hit.

Gauthier & Amedee will play Waipahu, Hawaii on Monday in an elimination game at 4 p.m., and Brooklawn will faces Petaluma, Calif. late Monday at 8:30 p.m. in a game on ESPN3.com.
